My mama always taught me, that good things come
From adversity, if we put our faith in the Lord
We couldn't see much good in the flood waters
When they were causing us to have to leave home

But when the water went down, we found
That it had washed a load of rich black bottom dirt across our land
The following year we had the best cotton crop we'd ever had
I remember hearing

"How high's the water, mama?"
"Two feet high and risin'"
"How high's the water, papa?"
"Two feet high and risin'"

We can make it to the road in a homemade boat
That's the only thing we got left that'll float
It's already over, all the wheat and the oats
Two feet high and risin'

"How high's the water, mama?"
"Three feet high and risin'"
"How high's the water, papa?"
"Three feet high and risin'"

Well, the hives are gone, I've lost my bees
The chickens are sleepin' in the willow trees
Cow's in water, up past her knees
Three feet high and risin'

"How high's the water, mama?"
"Four feet high and risin'"
"How high's the water, papa?"
"Four feet high and risin'"

Hey, come look through the window pane
The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain
Four feet high and risin'

"How high's the water, mama?"
"Five feet high and risin'"
"How high's the water, papa?"
"Five feet high and risin'"

Well, the rails are washed out north of town
We gotta head for higher ground
We can't come back till the water comes down
Five feet high and risin'
Well, it's five feet high and risin'
